with it at our
most distant northern points. It is much larger than the above, has a
stronger bill, and a dark breast. This bird is good eating.

65. CINCLORAMPHUS RUFESCENS.--Singing Lark.

This is also a good songster.

66. CORCORX LEUCOPTERUS.--White-winged Chough.

This bird has a dirty black plumage, excepting a white bar across the
wings. It is generally seen in groups of six or seven, flying from tree
to tree, and is widely distributed all over the continent.

67. CORVUS CORONOIDES, VIG. AND HORSF. White-eyed Crow.

This bird approaches somewhat to the raven. Its plumage is black and
glossy, its neck feathers like a cock's hackle, and the iris white, the
latter peculiarity giving it a singular appearance. Many of these birds
remained with us at the Depot after we had been deserted by most of the
other kinds, and served to fatten an old native who had visited the camp,
on whose condition they worked a perfect miracle. I suppose indeed that
there never was such an instance of an individual becoming absolutely fat
in so short a time, from a state of extreme emaciation, as in that old
and singular savage, from eating the crows that were shot for him, and
which constituted his chief, I might say, his only food.

68. POMATORHINUS SUPERCILIOSUS.

A bird that frequented the cypress and pine forests; running along the
branches of the trees like rats, and chasing each other from one to the
other. This bird is about the size of a thrush, but is very different in
other respects. It has dark brown plumage, with a rufous breast.

69. POMATORHINUS TEMPORALIS.

A bird very similar in plumage and habits to the last, but smaller and
quicker in its motions. I shot these birds on a former expedition to the
eastward of the Darling, and both are figured in my former work, page
219, vol. II.

70. GLYCIPHILA FULVIFRONS.--Fulvous-fronted Honey-eater.

A bird common amongst the honey-suckles (Banksias), in the sandy rises or
mounds in the neighbourhood of the Darling. It appears in South Australia
in similar localities, and has all the characters of its genus in the
curved bill, pencilled tongue, and other points.

71. GLYCIPHILA ALBIFRONS, GOULD.--White-fronted Glyciphila.

This bird is about the size of a chaffinch, and was first killed by me on
the Darling.

72. PTILOTIS CRATITIUS, GOULD.

This Honey-eater is remarkable in having a narrow lilac skin on the
cheek, with a light line of yellow feathers beneath it. It is
